FAQ – Silicon Metal Powder 553 (16–200 Mesh)
Q1: What is the latest delivered price for silicon metal powder 553 (16–200 mesh)?
A: The current quotation range is CNY 9,700–10,400/ton delivered, with settlement prices mainly reported in the CNY 9,500–10,300/ton range.
Q2: Why are transaction prices slightly lower than quotation prices?
A: Quotations represent offer levels, while transaction prices reflect negotiated deals after considering order size, payment terms and logistics. It is normal for real deals to close slightly below the initial quotation.
Q3: What does 16–200 mesh mean for this product?
A: It indicates the particle size distribution of the powder. 16 mesh is relatively coarse and 200 mesh is relatively fine. The 16–200 mesh range is widely used for alloying, metallurgy and chemical applications where good flowability and reactivity are required.
Q4: Is silicon metal powder 553 suitable for high-purity chemical applications?
A: 553 is mainly a cost-effective grade and is widely used in aluminum alloys and general industrial applications. For higher-purity chemical or silicone applications, buyers often choose Si ≥ 99% or other high-purity grades.
Q5: What information is needed to receive a firm delivered offer?
A: Please provide your grade (553), mesh size (16–200 or customized), required quantity, plant or warehouse location, and target delivery time. With this information, a supplier can calculate a precise delivered price and logistics plan.
